Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety and tolerability of fidaxomicin using clinical laboratory tests (hematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis), vital signs, physical examination, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and incidence/severity of adverse events. [ Time Frame: Enrollment through end of study (Day 38-41) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Investigate concentrations of fidaxomicin and its main metabolite in plasma samples. [ Time Frame: Enrollment through end of therapy (Day 10) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Investigate concentrations of fidaxomicin and its main metabolite in fecal samples. [ Time Frame: Enrollment through end of therapy (Day 10) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Evaluate the clinical outcome by assessment of clinical response. [ Time Frame: Day 10 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Evaluate the clinical outcome by assessment of sustained clinical response. [ Time Frame: 28 days post-treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 32
Study Start Date: June 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: January 2014
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
